Is this recipe healthy?
These cookie dough overnight oats are healthy because we use oat flour, protein powder, and nut butter which creates a balanced, nutrient-dense breakfast or snack.
Oats: Rich in fiber, oats provide long-lasting energy and support digestive health.
Nut Butter: A source of healthy fats and protein, nut butter add a creamy texture and boost the nutritional profile.
Protein Powder: Makes this recipe high-protein and supports muscle repair, growth, bone health, and metabolism.
Dark Chocolate: High in antioxidants, dark chocolate adds a decadent touch while providing potential health benefits.
There is no added sugar in this recipe because the protein powder and chocolate chips sweeten it enough for me. However, if your protein powder doesn’t offer an additional sweetness, add 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup and adjust from there!
How do I make oat flour?
Oat flour is simply blended oats. Take a blender with a couple cups of oats and blend on high until a fine powder results. It should only take 5-10 seconds.
Alternatively, for this recipe you could take all the ingredients (whole oats or oat flour) and blend in a small food processor until smooth.
What ingredients do I need to make cookie dough overnight oatmeal?
- Oat flour
- Vanilla protein powder (I use TumLove)
- Nut/seed butter (I like using drippy peanut butter or almond butter)
- Unsweetened almond milk (I use Silk)
- Unsweetened vanilla yogurt (I use Silk, but any yogurt will work here!)
- Dark chocolate chips (I use stevia-sweetened chips from BakeBelieve)
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
A quick note on protein powder:
The texture of your blended overnight oats highly depends on the absorbency of the protein powder used. I have found that whey protein powder is less absorbant that traditional vegan protein powders. If you use whey protein powder in this recipe, reduce the almond milk to 1/3 cup, or add an additional tbsp of protein powder.
